Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks.
Part A
Define the stiffness of a spring and write down an expression for the same of a open coiled helical spring.
Answer
Stiffness of a spring is defined as the load required per unit deflection. For an open coiled helical spring, the stiffness k is given by:
where G is the modulus of rigidity, d is the wire diameter, D is the mean coil diameter, n is the number of turns, and α is the helix angle.
Derive an expression for the power transmitted by a shaft.
Answer
Power transmitted by a shaft is the product of torque and angular velocity. If T is the torque in N-mm and ω is the angular velocity in rad/s, the power P is:
Substituting ω = (2 π N) / 60, where N is the speed in rpm:
The result is in Watts when T is in N-m.
